We have seen many quotes from distinct people stating that each person must own their style and not stick to or copy existing trends. This quote is a similar one that defines that individuality matters more in bringing out a unique fashion or style. Because style is one way by which you can express yourself—who you are, what you are, and what you want to convey to your audiences.
Now, tell us, what is your fashion statement or style?
With regards to men’s suits, the attire is incomplete without the right set of accessories. And with accessories, there is always an imbalance between shoes and others (ties, belts, and watches). Of course, neckties and belts get more attention than shoes. But it does not mean you can play around with it. The right pair of shoes is badly needed to get the style balanced and enhanced. In other words, the wrong shoe selection can taint your overall look, feel, and confidence.
In this short blog post, Bucco, the leading men’s couture brand, has developed some guidelines and tips for buying or choosing the right shoes that greatly complement the suit.
The dependencies when selecting your shoes
Selecting a shie requires a thought process and analysis of various aspects, like the occasion, the suit style, and the suit color. Occasions can be formal, semi-formal, or casual. The suit style can be single-breasted, double-breasted, two-piece, three-piece, lapelled, structured, unstructured, etc. The suit colors can be anything from brown to black, blue to burgundy, pink to violet, and so forth.
First, let’s see how to pick the shoes for particular occasions and their respective suit styles. Next, let’s get into matching the shoe and suit colors.
1. The type of occasion and the suit style
Most formal occasions involve black suits or tuxedos. So, opt for classic black shoes, like Oxford or Derby, to enhance the look and feel of your formal black attire. An advantage of owning a pair of Derby shoes is that you can wear them for any occasion, including semi-formal and casual ones.
Casual suits need a relaxed feel. Thus, you can choose between boat shoes, boots, or loafers. When it is neither a formal nor casual occasion, like smart casuals or semi-formals, stick to loafers or dress boots.
Of course, weddings can be formal or casual. In that case, you can choose based on the above guidelines. However, most grooms retain Oxford, Derby, or Monk-type strapless shoes for weddings.
Business occasions are more similar to formal occasions, like meetings, conferences, etc. So, as mentioned above, the classic and timeless choice is an Oxford or Derby shoe.
2. The color of the suit
The most demanded and preferred men’s suit colors are blue, black, gray, brown, navy blue, charcoal, and beige. So, let’s explore the winning combinations of shoes with these suit colors. Are you a beginner at suit styling? Please save this post for future reference.
These suits are mostly worn during business meetings or traditional wedding ceremonies. A chic brown shoe would be a great choice for this suit color.
Of course, black suits need black shoes. It could be a pair of black Oxford shoes or black loafers. It depends on the occasion you attend. In the case of a plaid or patterned suit, black Oxford shoes or boots could be the best choice.
The best pair of gray is always black. Yes, no other color can beat a pair of black shoes that complement gray-hued suits. Most groomsmen prefer this combination.
Contrasting brogues are the best-suited shoes for brown suits. If it is a wedding or any celebrative occasion, choose a dark-colored brogue to show off your fashion sense.

Some agree that fashion is more about feeling. You can relate to this when you see your favorite suit among all the others in your closet. How good does it feel? Likewise, some agree that fashion is more about science. The scientific research evidence states that wearing colors like yellow or pink can boost your energy levels. On the contrary, wearing black or red can make you aggressive.
